To remove a registered email address from a bot, you have to have access to that email address in order to click the verification link. Sometimes, for legitimate reasons, this is no longer possible because for whatever reason, you no longer have access to that email address. For example, maybe you used your school email address and then graduated and lost access to it.

What should the policy be for these kinds of scenarios? Manually intervening seems like it could be hairy because it effectively circumvents the whole point of registering an email address in the first place; anyone with access to your bot could claim the email is dead and then lock it down for themselves. At the same time, I do recognize/sympathize with the desire for some sort of appeals policy because floR was kind enough to change my school email on Project X in bots2 after I graduated and lost access to it.

Thoughts?

Well security questions can work too. Questions that only you know or have two registered emails one as a back up. Like theres a option for like no access to this email button then after you click it, you are required to type in the back up email that only gets a link sent to it if you get it right like the whole gmail system does.

Perhaps a delay with whatever you decide on. So you request a cancelation and are told 'an email has been sent to the current address, if they don't click the link or respond within 5 days, your new email will be set'

An email address with security questions to reset the email in the event of it being lost is generally how most verification systems are set up and I haven't come accross any issues that I know of.
